STOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application led June 17, 1911.

Patented Feb. 13, 1912. Serial No. 633,650.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, ISAAC BROOKE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pottstown, in the co-unty of Montgomery, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Stove, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists in providing a stove with a conduit and a chamber whereby air may be admitted into said conduit and highly heated, in which condition it may be directed into said chamber where it may be heated further, the hot air then being adapted to be discharged into the apartment which the stove occupies, or to be discharged into another or remote place as desired, the construction of the members and the operation thereof being hereinafter described, and the novel features pointed out in the claims.

The invention is satisfactorily illustrated in the accompanying drawing, but the important instrumentalities thereof may be varied, and so it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the specific arrangement and :organization shown and de. scribed.

Figure l represents a perspective view of a stove embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents a top or plan view of the upper portion thereof on an enlarged scale. Fig. 3 represents a vertical section of a portion thereof 0n an enlarged scale. Fig. 4 repre sents a horizontal section on line Fi'g.

3. Fig. 5 represents a horizontal section of a portion on line g/-g/ Fig. 3.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the gures:

Referring to the drawings A designates a stove which excepting the features of my invention applied thereto is of usual construction. Connected with the wall B of the combustion chamber C on opposite sides thereof, are the plates D, which are dishing and so set out from said wall B as to form the air receiving flues E, it being noticed that the bottom and sides of said flues are closed by rabbeted joints F, G, on the adjacent portions of said plates D and said wall B, so as to prevent leakage of air at said joints. In the plates D at or about their lower ends are the air inlet openings H which provide the means of communication for the flues E with the atmosphere or air in the apartment which the stove occupies. Surmounting the combustion chamber and platesl D are the concentric concave caps K. N which caps are separate `from each other forming the annular chamber L. In the center of t-he base J of the inner cap is an opening M, the wall of which rises from said base forming the inner cap N. In said base near the periphery thereof are the ports or passages P which are in communication .with the upper ends of the flues E and consequently with the chamber L. The underside of said base is formed with grooves Q, to receive the upper ends of the wall B and plates D and form tight joints therewith. Vithinthe inner cap N is the central Opening R which is in communication with the central opening M at the upper end of the combustion chamber for feeding fuel to the latter when so desired, said openings being adapted to be closed by the dome S. In the side wall of the cap K are ports or outlets T over which are the dampers or valves UV which are suitably connected with said cap, so as to be capable of sliding thereon and thereby close or open said ports T as desired. In the cap K back of the central opening R is an offset passage V from the wall of which rises the collar W thus forming a chamber for the valve X, whose axis Y is mounted on said collar and is provided with a suitable knob or handle for rotating the same, whereby said valve may be opened or closed as desired, it being noticed that the chamber L formed by the caps J. K. is in communication with said collar W, as most plainly shown in Fig. 4.

The several stationary members of the stove are bolted or screwed together according to requirements.

The operation is as follows -Air is admitted through the inlets I-I into the flues E and so heated by the wall B, due to the products of combustion within the latter and the heated vcondition of the plates D. The hot air then passes through the ports P into the chamber L, whose walls composed of the caps J. K. are also heated by the stove from which chamber the hot air may be directed into the apartment which the stove occupies, this being accomplished by closing the valve X and opening the valves U, the hot air then escaping into said apartment through the open ports T. Again by closing the valves U and opening the valve X, the hot air may be directed into vthe collar WV, and consequently through the open valve X into a pipe W connected with said collar CTX W as shown in dotted lines, Fig. l, said pipe leading to an upper apartment or one remote from the first named apartment, so as to heat said upper or remote apartment.

It Will be seen that as the air circulates in and through the flues E and chamber L, it is subjected thereby to effective heating, and the hot air by the provisions named may be directed to diiferent localities or apartments for Warming or heating either as is evident.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. In a stove, an air heating iue on the combustion chamber thereof, an air inlet in said flue, a hot air outlet for said flue, concentric caps superimposed on said chamber and flue forming a hot air chamber, said caps being closed at the top and separated at the bottom forming a communication with said flue, a hot air port in the exterior cap, and a valve for said port, an otfset passage communicating With said hot air chamber, a Valve chamber extending from the exterior cap communicating with said passage, and a valve in said chamber, said passage leading to a point remote from said port.

2. In a stove, an air heating iue on the side of the combustion chamber thereof, an air inlet in said flue, a hotair outlet for said iiue, a hot air chamber in the upper part of the stove, said chamber being formed of concentric caps Which are closed at the top and separated at the bottom Jforming a communication with the flue, a hot air discharge port in the Wall of said chamber, a Valve for said port, and an offset passage extending from the exterior cap and in communication with said chamber, the Wall of said passage forming a valve chamber, a Valve in said chamber, said passage being adapted to be connected with a hot air conductor leading to a point remote from said hot air discharge port.

3. In a stove, an air heating flue on each side of the combustion chamber thereof, an air inlet in each flue, a hot air outlet for each lue, said flues being formed independently of each other, a hot air chamber in the upper part of the stove, said chamber being formed of concentric caps which are closed at the top and separated at the bottom forming a communication with the Hue, a hot air discharge port in the Wall of said chamber, a valve for said port, and an offset passage extending from the exterior cap and in communication With said chamber, the Wall of said passage forming a Valve chamber, a valve in said chamber, said passage being adapted to be connected with a hot air conductor leading to a point remote from said hot air discharge port.
